Here is another mechanism to social change that is so simple and so obvious that it is easy to overlook. My personal experience and observations with working as a guide, teacher, and rescuer in the out of doors is very much in line with what this article is pointing towards. I am planning on focusing a significant amount of my attention towards this topic - the importance of having a personal connection to nature and how it affects an individual's well-being. In short, this article deals with the decreasing time that children are spending in the outdoors and how scientific research is actually revealing how detrimental this "nature-deficit disorder" truly is to the well-being of humans. For anyone that has spent a fair amount of time in the out of doors this will not be a surprise.
